Planning and Configuring an lx Branded
Zone (Task Map)

Before
you set up your system to use zones, you must first collect information and
make decisions about how to configure the zones. The following task map summarizes
how to plan and configure an lx zone.

Task

Description

For Instructions

Plan your zone strategy.

Determine which applications you want to run in zones.

Assess the availability of disk space to hold the files in
the zone.

If you are also using resource management features, determine
how to align the zone with the resource management boundaries.

Decide what to call the zone based on the naming conventions. A path
on a Zetabyte File System (ZFS) is recommended. When the source zonepath and the target zonepath both reside on ZFS and
are in the same pool, the zoneadmclone command
automatically uses ZFS to clone the zone.
